[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 262471, member: 1991"] It is so difficult sometimes. Medicine is a very inexact science. Our boys have a diagnosis of ADHD plus autism, but the stimulant medications help with some of the autism symptoms too, in our case. But you have kids with a diagnosis of ADHD and they don't respond well to stimulants. But as a rule - stimulants will only really help kids with ADHD. A good diagnosis is needed, a neuropsychologist assessment is really valuable. But at the end of the day, we do what we can to ehlp our kids, using every trick in the book. if medications are showing benefit (at school, at least) thwn great. But if there is no benefit or he seems worse, then first consider that the dose may be wrong, then that the medication is wrong, then that the diagnosis could be wrong. Always keep an open mind about everything - you never know when a later diagnosis can turn it all on its head. Marg [/QUOTE]
